Scores of protesters have begun assembling in Oyo State for the #EndBadGovernance protest.
Initially, there were no signs that the protest would take place, but aggrieved youths suddenly emerged from Elizabeth Road and marched to Mokola Roundabout, carrying placards and singing anti-government songs.
Upon their arrival, police officers were seen calling for reinforcements.
The youths maintained a peaceful demeanor, urging security agents to remain vigilant. The leader of the protest stated, “We’re here to exercise our constitutional rights. We have to free ourselves from these hoodlums who call themselves leaders. We cannot continue like this. Enough is enough. This is the EndBadGovernance protest. We’re just converging. The protest has not started.”
He added, “We are not afraid or intimidated by the presence of security personnel. We’re performing our duty as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution as amended. The security must protect us so that there will not be any casualties. It is our fundamental human right to engage in peaceful protest.”
